Sandwich Monday: Rip'n Chick'n

The fried chicken chain Popeye's, named because Popeye famously ate cans of fried chicken to make himself big and strong, is offering "Rip'n Chick'n." In so doing, they've accomplished what the great poets thought impossible: rhyme "chicken" and "ripping," and serve people a hand-shaped piece of chicken.

Eva: So you're telling me chickens could have been collecting their own eggs all this time.

Ian: It's called Rip'n Chick'n. It's nice. I can use all the time I would have spent saying "g's" regrett'n my life.

Miles: It's nice to be able to do this to chicken fingers that don't owe me money.
